The Academy

Founded in 1842, St. Johnsbury Academy is a comprehensive independent day and boarding school widely praised for its successful development of character, academic excellence, and community in its students.

Our culture fosters a tradition of respect for all members of our community, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, cultural background, or family economic resources.

St.
Johnsbury Academy treasures the spirit of young people—their energy,
their creativity, their compassion, and generosity—as well as the unique
spirit of each student, believing in them even when they don’t believe
in themselves.—Headmaster Tom Lovett
